Assembly Steps

1. Fine sand the balsa fin sheet with 400 grit sandpa-

per using a sanding block or Apogee's Sanding Tee.

Carefully remove all the fins from the fin sheet by free-

ing the edges with a sharp hobby knife. Also remove

the cardstock centering rings from the sheet.

2. Sealing and sanding the balsa fins reduces drag by

making the surface very smooth. It also improves the

rocket's appearance. Apply a coat of sanding sealer

to the fins with a paintbrush. When the sealer is dry,

lightly sand the sealed surfaces. Repeat the sealing

and sanding procedure until the balsa grain is filled

and the fins look and feel smooth.

3. With a pencil, mark the engine mount tube in three

locations from one end: 3/8 inch (9.5mm), 2 ¼ inch

(57.1mm) and 2 ⅜ inches (60.3mm).

4. Using a hobby knife, make a small slit at the 2 ¼

inch (57.1mm) mark for the engine hook. Insert the

tang of the metal engine clip into the slot cut into the

engine mount tube as shown.

5. Using wood glue, glue one of the cardstock cen-

tering rings over the tube and engine hook as shown.

The ring is positioned along the 3/8" (9.5mm) line on

the tube.
